Natural Children’s photography in Monmouthshire, Cardiff and Bristol area with Jo Haycock

“Jo said she wants to borrow my Spiderman costume, but I don’t think it will fit her. I asked my mum if she can come back for a sleepover next time.”

Owain, aged 4

Everything about our children…

The smile after the tantrum, the cheeky comments we have to hide our laughter from, that certain spark in their eyes we know so well – usually before a prank, or an awkward question.

No two days are the same, no two questions, it’s pure love with lots of energy thrown in. My focus as a documentary family photographer is to show a part of your child’s character by letting them be them.

To be really and honestly themselves.

So what might your at home days look like?

Would you be in a flurry of craft making, perhaps baking and a few star jumps on beds? Or is it about music lessons, netball or rugby training?

Perhaps tree-house and den building with a yummy grass and mud pie created for that mid-morning snack?

I’m proud to have taken part in many of these activities – usually wearing a set of fairy wings, holding a camera in one hand and a precious Lego brick in another.
